His name is Yabsira, which means "The Work of God the Father" which we both love. He is 3 months old and at 2 1/2 months, he weighed 12 lbs. and was 20 inches long! He is just so beautiful - we just keep staring at his picture - which I'll be able to post in a couple of days, but until then I can only email it.

We are so excited, happy, still in shock, and already a bit anxious to go and bring him home!!

I'll post later about The Call and the wonderful moment of first seeing our baby's sweet little face. For now, I need to let this all sink in! :)

OMG, Congratulations!!! This is such exciting news! You have to share the details and if you can, could you e-mail me a picture of him. Iam so, so excited for you and Kevin! Were you the first CHI family to receive a referral?

I am sooo excited for you!! I have read your entire blog and my husband Nathan and I anxiously await his return from Iraq so that we can move forward towards our own little Ethio boy! It made me cry today when I checked into the blog to see how things were going!Congrats!!!! (BTW - We live in Kansas, just outside of Wichita, if you're ever looking to connect with Ethio parents (or waiting to be ethio parents!)

Hi there, I just came across your blog and see that your baby is at the same orphanage that our little guy is at! We are going in July to pick him up. We're of course with a different agency - we live in Canada. I've heard nothing but wonderful things about the orphanage director and her staff. Congrats on your proposal! :) Courtney cout@telus.net
